What is Super Strength Rose Hip? It’s a high-strength extract from rose hips, the fruit of a wild rose plant called Rosa canina. When most of us think of roses, we think of something pretty to look at in the garden or in a vase but like lots of plants, they are also packed full of beneficial compounds. Rose hips are naturally rich in fatty acids, carotenoids, polyphenols and flavonoids. It’s believed that the Egyptians, Mayans and Native Americans used rosehip as a hair conditioner and skin balm. In fact, it’s still used in beauty products today! Why is ours better? We’ve added calcium to help maintain your bone strength and keep your muscles working. And we’ve included vitamin C, which is involved in the process of making collagen, a substance needed to form cartilage, the flexible tissue that protects the ends of your bones at the joint. Vitamin C also has a long list of other benefits, including protecting your cells from oxidative damage, helping your immune system to function and maintaining skin health. Who is this for? This vegan supplement is for anyone who enjoys an active lifestyle and wants to look after their cartilage, bones and muscles*. *Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to normal collagen formation for the normal function of bones and cartilage. Calcium contributes to normal muscle function and is needed for the maintenance of normal bones. Complementary products We believe that rosehip extract tablets go particularly well with glucosamine supplements.
